  • DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR VESSEL CLEARING
    Publication number: 20190111203
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for clearing a vessel lumen are disclosed. One method of flushing a vessel lumen includes providing a reservoir containing a first fluid at a first pressure. A pressurized second fluid is received at the reservoir from a powered injection system. Receiving the pressurized second fluid at the reservoir pressurizes the first fluid contained in the reservoir to a second pressure that is greater than the first pressure. The first fluid at the second pressure is delivered from the reservoir to the vessel of the patient.
